The Magic have told other teams that they might not trade Dwight Howard before the season starts. Are they bluffing?

• grjacob: "The Magic have all the chips. Even if you hold him until next summer, Dwight would have to leave $20M on the table to sign elsewhere (without a sign-and-trade agreement from Orlando)."
• dw2c: "Suprise story! The Magic management mishandle another round of negotiations involving the diva Howard."
• PekingDunk: "Can't tell if Orlando showed the world how bad most NBA front offices are or if it's just Orlando's own front office that's that bad."
• iloveillini407: "i think orlando would get a deal done if they didnt insist on turk and richardson being involved as well. nobody wants them. maybe if orlando didnt overspend they wouldnt be in this situation."
• jrrod02: "I still feel the Lakers are the front runners. Orlando seems to just want to milk Howard for all he's worth. Eventually they'll cave in. They won't risk letting him go for nothing."
